Europe was a continent on the planet Earth, forming the western part of Eurasia. The continent was bordered by the Atlantic Ocean, the Mediterranean, the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea. Things attributed to Europe were identified as European.

In the 2020s, Europe was affected by political problems.

Background information[]
Retroactive continuity: Several 20th century-era maps depicting Africa, or portions of it, were stored in the USS Enterprise library computer in 2254. These maps included a continent projections map, an eastern hemisphere map, a political map of the northern hemisphere, and a statistical map. These maps were among the materials viewed by the Talosians when they scanned the Enterprise computer. (TOS: "The Cage")
Decades later, a Central Intelligence Agency map was used for the remastered "The Cage". This map was published either in April 2007[1] or September 2008.[2] The difference, which was not noticeable at the resolution of the image from the episode, was the addition of Kosovo, which gained independence from Serbia between the releases.
